What’s up, y’all? As the title of the post suggests, I had the opportunity to interview Shad — legendary Canadian MC, legendary MC overall, and a stand-up guy who didn’t give me a hard time for being 15 minutes late to an interview that I scheduled! We talked about his upcoming album, Start Anew, maintaining optimism in dark times, and the Canadian listenership’s relationship to Canadian Hip Hop at this time. I hope y’all get as much out of this convo as I did.
Also got the usual mix of tunes in here — haven’t played anything new for y’all since August, so it’s time to get right on that. RIP D’Angelo, dedication mix next week.
